One Piece: Reborn as Enel

Chapter 46: Relaxation and Shady Business

_________ POV Enel _________

Three days.

Who knew I'd be spending three days drinking with the people of Dressrosa?

I obviously called Oven here too. So, here is the current matchup: We currently have a high-ranking marine(me), a child of a Yonko (Oven), and the entire royal family of Dressrosa.

I don't know how this happened, but it did, and I don't mind.

Oven also seems to be enjoying himself, he seems to have formed some form of bond with Kyros. Most likely because he helped Kyros deal with Diamante, and that they both share some similarities with their bodies.

It went to the point where Oven actually asked if I could build Kyros a similar peg leg to his.

I refused though, because gold is a rather weak metal, and that type of pegleg works well with Oven because he still has his knee somewhat intact.

Kyros seemed to understand, but Oven was still pouting about it even after a whole day passed. Viola was also looking a bit sad about it. So at some point, I was like 'You know what? Fuck it, I'll make him a mechanic leg.'

I didn't have much knowledge about this in my past life, but the old Enel was a genius in this aspect, taking inspiration from both our memories, I was somewhat able to scrounge up a mechanic leg that moves as normally as a natural leg.

This isn't even that advanced in this world, as people like Vegapunk and even Franky were capable of even greater feats.

A doctor was needed to attach it though, as it needed to be connected to nerve endings as well. The leg itself was made from a few different metals, but I obviously didn't use my staff or my gold.

King Doldo was rather pleased with providing all of the necessary materials.

Kyros is still getting used to his new leg, he can move it, a bit more strained than I first expected, but I was able to make a few adjustments, and it should work like a charm now(hopefully).

Well, Kyros still has to get used to it, but it should at least be smoother than before.

Right now, I am just sitting on the balcony of the palace. Watching the streets as houses are being repaired. Oven is off sleeping somewhere in the castle.

The Riku family should also be sleeping right now. I can't really bring myself to do so.

The citizens are also not sleeping, the able-bodied ones are working currently, saying that they will only rest when they could finally see a clean street.

Bodies were being collected and buried or burned. There was a lot of work to do after all.

And me? I'm a marine, so I'm not exactly helping them. But I can't sleep, even if it's in the middle of the night.

I feel it, in the distance, many ships are currently approaching the island. I know they are marine ships, but some of the people abroad are certainly not marines.

I already know most of the powerful figures within the marine headquarters. I know the important figures in the marines in general.

This fleet shouldn't even be coming from the headquarters, as they arrived here too fast. But I should still be able to identify most high-ranking officials.

The people on board seem a bit odd, two of them to be exact. I can tell that they are strong. Strong enough to be called Vice Admirals. Yet they seem to be masquerading as recruits.

Even if they try to hide their strength, I can tell from the way they take their strides, even though they are undercover, they still don't seem to be doing any work a marine recruit would do on the ship.

I guess they don't expect anyone to watch them so closely... Besides, I can clearly hear what they are talking about.

They are having a conversation about Doflamingo's body and what to do with it... They also name-dropped me in their conversation.

The only conclusion I can reach is that the people arriving are likely Cipher Pol agents.

They obviously aren't stupid enough to talk about their mission while undercover. But the way they carry themselves is offputting, to say the least.

They are shady, and they are basically gossiping about me.

If the old Enel was the one manning the stations then the entire ship they're on would already be at the bottom of the ocean.

But I was expecting them to arrive, as this is a matter concerning the death of a former Celestial Dragon.

Even if it's a 'former' one, it's apparently still an important matter for the world government.

I know that I can trust Akainu to have my back in this matter... But I can't trust the World Government to not try something stupid behind the backs of the marines.

So... What are they planning here?

_________ POV Narration_________

Eventually, Enel smiled widely.

'Why don't I pay these recruits a visit? They shouldn't be slacking on the job after all...'

With that, Enel vanished from the balcony. Appearing once again above the clouds near the ship.

Enel then simply took one step and appeared on the ship.

There were two recruits that interested him. And he landed right behind them, making them jump in different directions as they turned around to stare warily at him.

"Oho! Such great reflexes for recruits! Say... Why aren't you two mopping the decks?" Enel said as he tilted his head a bit.

At this point, the Chiper Pol agents realised who they were looking at. It was none other than Rear Admiral Enel. One of their main targets in this mission.

The agents only had so much information regarding Enel, but that was because the World Government also had almost no information on him.

Sengoku had been keeping a close eye on Enel for a while, so they could at least discern what type of person he was.

Now, he had done something major, killing a born Celestial Dragon was an extremely major transgression, the circumstances didn't matter.

So, the Cipher Pol agents had a rather complicated mission this time.

One, retrieve the warlord's body covertly. Two, scout Enel out to see how strong he truly is. Three, do their best to cover up the incident at the scene and try to erase any evidence either photo or video.

Spread rumours, fake evidence, and destroy the real evidence. The World Government would handle the rest with the press.

It was deemed that two CP0 agents were enough for this, so the two of them weren't exactly worried about fighting Enel and completing their mission... At least not until now.

Just from this small exchange, the agents knew that fighting Enel wouldn't be so simple. And they also couldn't act now, as they had yet to secure Doflamingo's body.

"We are sorry, Rear Admiral! We were just admiring the view..." The two of them quickly took a bow, Enel simply gave them a wide smile.

"Admiring the view, huh? Figures. Try not to slack too much, your job is also important, the decks on these ships don't have a self-cleaning feature." Enel said while nodding a bit, then he headed elsewhere, ignoring the two CP0 agents while whistling to himself.

The agents looked at each other, sweat was present on their brows. They realised that Enel could tell something was off about them, so they were left with only two choices now.

Either flee, ignore their mission and suffer the consequences. Or, continue their mission regardless of Enel's presence.

They were rather confident in their own skills, and Enel's speed wasn't going to take them by surprise a second time... Right?

In truth, that was what every enemy Enel fought usually thought.

But Enel wasn't usually using his full speed in the first place. If Garp was to describe it, it was as if he was weirdly fluctuating his speeds, sometimes appearing slower, sometimes faster.

It was an odd strategy, but it served its purpose, as Enel had made a fighting style for himself that allowed him to end battles as quickly as they began.

All he needed was a moment of carelessness, a small slip, and the fight would be over completely.

Things became complicated against non-devil fruit users, but Enel was decent at improvising, so he wasn't exactly worried about the CP0 agents either.

He knew that they were decently strong, but he also knew that they weren't strong enough to pose a threat to him, devil fruit or not.

Enel then proceeded to meet up with the Ship's captain and started discussing the logistics of the Dressrosa incident, not bothering to cover up even the slightest of details.

After all, Enel knew that the World Government would make a large effort to cover the crimes of a former Celestial Dragon, so he was going to make sure that as many people as possible knew the truth.

Mid conversation with the Ship's captain, Enel remembered something that made him amused for a bit.

'I wonder how the CP agents will react to the way I transport my prisoner... I can't wait to see their faces.'
